Seems to me there is a trend here at times. The WAS typically seems to be the peace-keeper and I have noticed a good number of us have been 'to nice' ... conflict avoiders, etc ... for me I was Mr NiceGuy and did not see W and how she treated me as abuse .. I chalked it up to her culture and she was jus t'that way'
I have also noticed that the majority of LBH'S here seem to fit the nice guy description.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
